How We’re Responding to the Trump Administration
Here at home, Representative Haley Stevens is stepping up her fight to stop an ICE detention facility from being placed in the area.
Earlier this year, the Department of Homeland Security announced that it would be opening a facility in Romulus. Representative Stevens, as well as other local members of Congress, have now sent a letter to DHS calling on it to reverse that decision.
Five Democratic U.S. Representatives from Michigan sent a letter on Thursday to Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin to oppose the development of a planned ICE detention facility in Romulus.
Rep. Haley Stevens of Birmingham led the letter and was joined by Reps. Debbie Dingell of Ann Arbor, Hillary Scholten of Grand Rapids, Kristen McDonald Rivet of Bay City, and Shri Thanedar of Detroit — almost the entire Democratic delegation to the U.S. House from Michigan.

Here’s what Michiganders are seeing and reading about Rep. Haley Stevens’ work to protect public health, defend science-based policy, and hold officials accountable:
“But we know that Michiganders, the American people, have been shut out. That there has been very little accountability, health care cuts, attacks on scientific research, ballooning cases, outbreaks of measles and other diseases that we thought we have come close to eradicating, and so I had to take the five minutes, the five minutes that I got, for accountability and to showcase that we have to have scientific integrity. We have to follow the scientific method. Instead, we are getting conspiracy theories and a self-serving agenda, you know.
